A dog eating raw egg white may develop a vitamin H (biotin) deficiency. Raw white contains a protein called avidin, which binds biotin and blocks its absorption and use in the body.
Long-term intake of raw egg white can cause biotin-deficiency symptoms such as skin inflammation, hair loss, anemia, and neurological abnormalities. So feed cooked egg yolk and avoid giving the white or raw egg white.
